ABC Loosens the Reins

Taking a break from the TCA Press Tour, last night's ABC All Star bash at the Beverly Hilton Hotel brought out a bunch of celebs with Disney-appropriate smiles to show off and shows to promote. Everyone looked nice and played nice too: I guess guests were making sure they left with the TV gig they came with. Well played ladies (and gents).

Stacy Keibler of "What About Brian" fame (is that still on the air??) in a Kenneth Cole Reaction black silk poet sleeve mini.

Doesn't Keibler look like she could've worked as Heidi Klum's stunt woman on a Victoria's Secret runway show? (Hey, those heels they wear are dangerous!)

"High School Musical" star Vanessa Hudgens wore Jay Godfrey’s nude 4-ply silk reverse halter dress featuring gold braiding....which was neither high school or musical-y in style, thank goodness.

Angie Harmon of the new "Women's Murder Club" wore an emerald silk jersey cocktail dress by Jay Godfrey, and accessorized with a brown leather clutch by Mary Norton.

With "Big Shot" big shot Dylan McDermott...

I guess not everyone played nice.

Pre-Grammy Jam

Clive Davis' Pre-Grammy Party at the Beverly Hilton last night drew attendees of various musical genres...and generations.

Hot young artist Ciara kept it simple in a form-fitting mini, making it easy (or difficult, maybe) to notice her cognac diamond bracelet and diamond solitaire ring by Chopard.

A new and improved Whitney Houston, who stepped out with her dear friend and host of the pre-Grammy event to be at, also sparkled in Chopard with cushion-cut diamond drop earrings as elegant as her ensemble.

Go 'head Whitney! We're rootin' for ya! Just...let's hope Ciara's affinity for Chopard is the only thing she'll have in common with the Ex-Mrs. Bobby Brown...

After the Party, It's the After Party...

Golden Globe winners, losers, attendees and non-invitees got together at various hot spots after the show for some celebrity-on-celebrity partying....

Eva Longoria, in Emanuel Ungaro, has nothing but love for singer Sheryl Crow at the In Style Magazine and Warner Bros. Studios Golden Globe After Party.

Could they be saying to each other what I was thinking all along?
Eva to Sheryl: Which one of us will play Ariel in the Golden Globes production of "The Little Mermaid"?

evaandcrow.jpg

Maybe not.

But one thing's for sure, those "Desperate Housewives" stars sure like hugging a lot. Teri Hatcher (L) consoles Seinfeld alum, Julia Louis-Dreyfus after a failed attempt on Julia's part to convince Teri to trade in her gold Swarovski crystal "Carat" clutch for a guest starring role on Dreyfus' "The New Adventures of Old Christine."

Or so it could seem.

Although she didn't win in her Golden Globe category, Katherine Heigl is all smiles with musician and fiancee Josh Kelley. Or is it the Chopard diamond drop earrings causing the butterflies in her stomach?

What we know for sure? Heigl took a page from the book of class last night with this Escada black strapless gown with fisihtail hem and train that did get to touch the stage with the "Grey's Anatomy" win in the Best TV Drama category.

One can always find the silver lining in any beautiful dress...

Apparently this Escada is a popular designer (I keed!) as actress Yunjin Kim of the nominated "Lost" pulls off a white satin plunging neck gown by the fashion house, with a black beaded floral design and fellow "Lost" star, Daniel Dae Kim (no relation), decorating her waist.

Maybe if they change the show's name to "Won," they'll have a better chance of walking away with an award next time...just a thought.

On-screen tough girl Gabrielle Union practically floats through the Beverly Hilton-hosted shindig in a ethereal gold silk jersey one-shoulder gown by Jay Godfrey.

And the dress' pockets answers the always nagging question, "Where are my car keys?" Good thinking, Gaby.

Meanwhile, life of the party, funnyman and award winner (pick one) Jamie Foxx was already checkin for the next hot after party spot.

I told him I'd meet him at the other entrance.

What's "Grey" and gold and winning me over? Chandra Wilson made me proud this time around (see: "The People Have Chosen") accessorizing this complimentary gold dress with minimal diamond jewelry (a ring and bracelet) by Kwiat.

Even though his show "The Office" didn't win it's category, I still think Steve Carell, shown here with wife Nancy Walls at the NBC/Universal Golden Globe After Party, is still the funniest thing on the funniest show on TV.

Now that's something worth celebrating, right?

"CSI: Miami" actress Sofia Milos keeps it (red) hot in the unusually cold L.A. evening wearing this Junko Yoshioka strapless dress, seen here at the In Style Magazine and Warner Bros. Studios Golden Globe After Party

Other tips on staying warm? Keep it moving...

She's not the only one getting around...

At least his choices in hit roles are more consistent than his choices in parties. Keep it up!

In The Nude

Kerry Washington was moving cool in a silk cocktail dress by Alber Elbaz for Lanvin at this month's Creative Coalition Gala.

Accented with a black sash and clutch, nude has never been more appropriate in the winter as it was at Tuesday night's event in New York.

Rejecting the warm wears of the season, Washington sported another silky, shoulder-baring gown earlier this month at the Botanical Garden Winter Wonderland Ball, also in New York. Her clear crystal Swarovski clutch was not only the perfect match for the sparkle-accented number...

...It apparently made for an amazing dance partner too.

What Happens in Vegas...

...Shows up on WAYW. And if you're Zoe Saldana, you should be used to the attention a little black dress, like this one by Catherine Malandrino, will get you.

Zoe_Saldana_2.jpg

Kicking back VIP-style at the Dec. 15 party at Tao in Las Vegas, the "Pirates of the Caribbean" star is rarely seen overdoing it and keeps it simple from head to toe, pairing the mesh-detailed airy cotton voile v-neck dress with patent leather peep toe heels by Rickard Shah.
